Between graphs comparing cases from the past under very different testing regimes and graphs that commit so many crimes against the y-axis that a peak of 20 cases per day is indistinguishable from thousands of cases per day, I'm about ready to rant against all visuals.

Our data infrastructure is a catastrophe. The NYT had to sue to get racial breakdown from CDC; found minorities are suffering disproportionately due to workplace infections. (Someone tell their photo editors to stop posting beach pictures!) Good luck having proper age breakdowns.

We're just going to look at the hard measures. Deaths and hospitalization plus ICU. (But not as a percentage! Hospitals add capacity so percent utilized isn't comparable with the past. Look for absolute numbers). And those are reported haphazardly and late, so... Alas.

Errr, cases per test is an obviously meaningless metric...

Sadly, positivity rates are really complicated as well. Ie, there are numerators and denominators. Both are complex. Denominators are driven by testing strategies and numerators may also be affected by test sens/spec which is variable depending on timing of test to exposure.

Hospitalizations don’t lie. ICU admits don’t lie. Excess deaths don’t lie.

Are saying testing is Arizona now is higher than it was in NY at the time?

Not to mention, they let
@NYGovCuomo off the hook by obscuring his disastrous mishandling early on, and also elide the difference between parts of AZ where masks are worn and#s lower and parts where mask-defiance is an article of faith and#s higher.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
